I am Herod. I am Gomer. I have sold myself and sold you. Not my body, but worse, my heart.  And what is my punishment but to taste divine love? To know the thirst of mercy for me, a love that chooses me for his bride and gives everything to be mine.

Therefore Though painfully,I  glory in my weakness, my shame that draws so powerfully the love of the God of mercy and learn to trust a love that is too good to be true, to give my whole self to one who sees all in me and loves me completely. When I give him my sin, he takes the joy of being my savior.  In my weakness he is strong. In my nothing he is all.


Hosea1:22
I will betroth you to me with fidelity,
and you shall know the LORD.
